English LanguageMake sure you know what will be on the paper, and the skills needed to answer each question.Paper 2: Writers’ Viewpoints and Perspectives (Non-Fiction)Try to understand the writer’s perspective in each article. What are they trying to say? Section A: Reading. (40 marks)Q1, 4 true points from Source A, 4 marks. (This tests AO1: identify and interpret explicit and implicit information and ideas)Q2, Summary of the differences between Source A and Source B, 8 marks. (This also tests AO1: identify and interpret explicit and implicit information and ideas; select and synthesise evidence from both texts)Q3, How is language used in Source B? 12 marks.(This tests AO2: Explain, comment on and analyse how writers use language and structure to achieve effects and influence readers, using language terms to support your views) Q4, Comparison of Source A with Source B, 16 marks.(This tests AO3: Compare writers’ ideas and perspectives and how they are conveyed in the two texts)Use the bullet points in Question 4 to help you structure your answer.Section B: Writing, (40 marks) No choice of question. Check form and purpose, remember SPAG! Look at the grid to make sure you meet the exam board’s requirements for the task. You should aim to include all of the features they suggest.Make sure your own viewpoint or perspective is clear when you are writing – have an opinion! To revise:
Read! Look for bias and viewpoint in non-fiction articles. What does the writer want us to think? How does he achieve this?
Read through newspaper and magazine articles to see how writers use punctuation, sentence and paragraph structure. How do they keep the reader interested?
Take a basic sentence, for example: It was cold. Now add an adjective, an adverb, an extra piece of information and at least two punctuation marks to make it more interesting.

Look at the above topics, you have done these in your lessons and will have it in your books. Read through them and revise the content to reacquaint yourself with it.
Online there are websites that are very useful.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/subjects/zpsvr82
http://www.businessed.co.uk/
Textbooks have been issued to groups, if you don’t have one we can issue you with one also, which contains theory, questions and helpful information to prepare you.
FOOD PREPERATION AND NUTRITION (TECHNOLOGY)
Exam format: The final exam is 1 hour 30 minutes. This exam has a total of 75 marks
The paper will have questions from the four areas of the specification:Section ANutritionSection BFood Provenance and food choiceSection CCooking and food preparationSection DSkills – preparation and cooking techniques
There will be a variety of styles of questions. Some will be short-answers questions and others will require a longer response.
Try to answer all questions (the exam paper includes questions to test the whole mark range) Write your answers in the spaces provided on the question paper.
The marks allocated and the spaces provided for your answer are a good indication of the length of answer required. You should allow approximately 1 minute per mark.
The quality of your written response (spelling, punctuation, grammar and correct use of technical words) will be marked in questions marked with an asterisk (*)
There will be two banded response questions where the quality of your answers will be assessed. It is important to give a detailed answer to this question ie. PEE = Point / Evidence / Explain
Revision areas:Revision is important. There are many ways that you can make this more interesting, for example using mind maps, charts, brace maps, circle maps, bubble maps; coloured paper; revision cards with key words, etc. There are no easy shortcuts here – eventually you will need to revise everything from Year 9, 10 and 11. Remember to also think about the processes that you have used to complete your Non-Examined Assessment (Food Investigation Task).
However, to make life easier for your exam in February 2017 I have listed key areas to focus for your revision:
Protein Fibre Eatwell Guide Italian Foods Fair Trade Foods Food Provenance – Red Tractor Award, Food Miles
Make sure that you understand the words that are used in examination papers – state; give; reasons; examples; explain; function; describe; evaluate; discuss.
There are a number of words frequently used in answers that will not gain you any marks because they are not qualified or explained. Examples of these are: healthier; quicker; longer; faster; because it’s healthy; cheaper; easier.
Finally, when you have completed your exam, you must always read and check your answers. Check to see where you think the examiner is going to be able to award you marks.
GEOGRAPHY
Below is a list of the key topic areas and examples that you may have studied with your class teacher.
Key topics:
How can weather be hazardous?

HISTORY
The exam will have two sections based on the two topics studied in year 9:
The People’s Health, c.1250 to present
Three issues will be addressed consistently throughout the study:
• The impact of living conditions on people’s health
• The response to epidemics
• Attempts to improve public health
The second, third and fourth bullet points in each period relate directly to these issues.
Students should be able to explain the ways in which the following five factors influenced changes and continuities in public health: Beliefs, attitudes and values / Local and national government / Science and technology / Urbanisation / Wealth and poverty
The three issues identified above, and the influence of the five factors, should be studied in relation to the four periods of history outlined below. Where appropriate, the focus should be on change and continuity within periods, as well as across the whole time-span.
The Making of America, 1789–1900
This period study follows the unfolding narrative of the making of America from the inauguration of the first president in 1789 to the end of the nineteenth century when the USA was set to become the world’s dominant power.
Students will need to understand how and why American territory expanded during these years and the relationship between this expansion and the cultures of indigenous Americans, African Americans and white Americans.
Pupils should be able to identify, describe and explain events, situations and developments relating to these three cultures and the conflicts that arose between 1789 and 1900.
They should study the unfolding narrative through the five sections outlined below. In each of the sections the focus should be on the specific content identified.

Principles of Training
Principle of Training DefinitionSpecificity Training should be matched to the requirements of the activity that
the performer is involved in.Overload When an athlete trains more than they normally do.
Progression Gradually increasing the amount of overload applies to all areas of health related exercise.
Reversibility Any adaptations made as a result of training will be reversed if training stops.
How to optimise Training… APPLY THE FITT PRINCIPLE!!!
Optimising Training Principle DefinitionFrequency How often you trainIntensity How hard you trainTime How long you train forType The method of training used
Methods of Training.
Method of Training DefinitionContinuous Training Continuous training is taking part in a physical activity, such as jogging,
running, swimming, cycling or rowing for an extended period of time without rest which seeks to mainly maintain and improve cardiovascular endurance.
Fartlek Training Fartlek training is when the intensity alters their speed over varying distances. It does not involve a rest period instead it involves active recovery. It often happens over varying terrains and uses landmarks such as trees or street lights to trigger the change in speed.
Interval Training Interval training consists of periods of work followed by periods of active recovery/rest. You work in your anaerobic training zone, then aerobic training zone repeatedly.
4 types of Interval Training:Circuit Training Circuit training is a series of exercises arranged in a particular way called a
circuit because the training involves repetition of each activity at a station using a work:rest ratio.
Weight Training Weight training involves a number of repetitions and sets using weights, depending on the type of strength that needs to be developed.
Plyometrics Plyometrics training are high impact exercises that teach the muscles to perform their maximum contractions faster: to be more powerful.
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
High intensity interval training is a cardiorespiratory training technique that alternates brief speed and recovery intervals to increase the overall intensity of a workout.
The Exercise Session
The Exercise Session
Stages of that part of the session The benefits
Warm Up Pulse Raiser – Exercises slowly increasing heart rate and body temperature eg. Jogging.Mobility – Exercises that take the joints through their full range of movement eg. Arm swings.Stretching – Developmental stretches gradually increasing difficulty through dynamic stretches eg. Lunges.Dynamic Movements – Movements showing a change in speed or direction eg. Shuttle runs.Skill Rehearsal – Practicing common skills that will be used in activity eg. Passing drill.
-Gradually raises body temperature and heart rate-Improves flexibility of muscles and joints-Improves pliability of ligaments and tendons-Increases the blood flow and oxygen to muscles-Increases the speed of muscle contraction
Main Activity
To achieve the aim of the exercise session.
Cool Down Low intensity exercises – Gradually lower the pulse rate, heart rate and body temperature eg. Light jogging.Stretching – Steady static stretches eg. Hamstring stretches.
-Know the body’s transition back to a resting state-Gradually lowers heart rate-Gradually lowers temperature-Circulates blood and oxygen-Gradually reduces breathing rate-Increases removal of waste products such as lactic acid-Reduces the risk of muscle soreness and stiffness-Aids recovery by stretching muscles.
Health, Fitness and Well-being.
Health – a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being, and not merely, the absence of disease or infirmity.
Fitness – the ability to meet the demands of the environment
Well-being – a feeling or mental state of being contented, happy, prosperous and healthy.
A healthy balanced lifestyle includes; An unhealthy lifestyle includes;
- Eating a healthy balanced lifestyle - Poor diet- Regular exercise - Inactivity and lack of exercise- Maintaining a healthy body weight - Being overweight- Not smoking - Smoking- Sensible alcohol consumption - Excess alcohol consumption- Minimising stress - High stress levels
PHYSICAL Benefit of exercise Consequence of Sedentary lifestyle
Injury Helps injuries heal and maintain fitness levels
More likely to suffer in ordinary life.
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
Keeps heart and blood supply healthy – CHD less likely
May cause CHD – poor blood and oxygen circulation and fat in arteries.
Blood Pressure More likely to be normal levels More likely to be raised.Bone Density More likely to have normal bone
density, so stronger.More likely to be weaker and easier to damage.
Obesity Less likely to be obese as energy will be used.
More likely to have high body fat.
Type 2 Diabetes Less likely due to lower body fat and blood sugar levels.
Too much glucose remains in blood.
Posture More likely to be normal, as less problems with back muscles.
Can lead to muscle and skeletal damage.
Fitness More likely to be fit so have more energy.
More likely to be unfit and tire easily, suffering muscle damage.
EMOTIONAL Self-esteem/confidence
Release serotonin – happy endorphins.Improve confidence in the way you look.
Low self-esteem due to lack of energy and more likely to be obese.
Stress management Helps to manage stress as takes mind off other things.
May dwell of life’s difficulties and not release stress.
Image Likely to have a good level of self-image.
Often have a poor self-image as often obese.
SOCIALFriendship Help people make friends involved
in activities.Less likely to go out much and meet people.
Belonging to a group Enables people to belong to a team or group.
May cause isolation and may not feel part of a community.
Loneliness Gives many opportunities to meet and be with other people.
Lack of people to talk too.
Diet and Nutrition
Balanced Diet – A diet which contains an optimal ratio of nutrients. Involves matching the energy being expended with that being consumed.
7 Components of a balanced diet…
Carbohydrates (Simple and Complex) – Most important source of energy; stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen which is quickly converted into glucose to provide energy.
Fats – Provide energy, together with glycogen help muscles to work.
Protein – Helps build muscle and repair damaged tissue. Also third source of energy when all the carbohydrate has been used up.
Vitamins – Essential health. Eg. Good vision, good skin, red blood cell formation, healing, healthy bones and teeth and blood clotting.
Minerals – Essential for a healthy body. Eg. Calcium for strong bones, Iron for carrying oxygen in the blood.
Fibre – Aids the functioning of the digestive system.
Water – Essential for hydration; it holds oxygen and transports nutrients, waste and hormones around the body.
Diet on energy use in physical activity…
To have the correct energy diet must be a balanced diet. Timing of meals should fit around training; some blood will be redirected to the digestive system once you have eaten. Redirection of blood is called Blood shunting. When you exercise blood shunting occurs to the working muscles to carry oxygen there. You could Carbohydrate load before an event or competition to boost energy stores.
Hydration on energy use in physical activity…
Being hydrated controls body temperature, drinking water prevents dehydration. When exercising you sweat therefore you lose water. If you lose too much water and do not take on any more you could become dehydrated which can cause illness and in extreme cases death.
Socio-Cultural influences
Participation Rates – the number of people within a group who are involved in sport compared to those who are not.
Sport England – helps communities to develop sporting habits for life.
National Governing Bodies (NGB’s) – Sets rules, regulations and competition structure for the individual sport.
Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) – the section of the government responsible for sport.
Strategies to improve participation:
Promotion – convincing people to take part
Provision – providing facilities, equipment, coaching etc
Access – giving people the opportunity to participate by making it easier for them to engage in sport.
14 Factors affecting participation:
Gender
AgeDisabilityEthnicityReligion/cultureFamilyEducation Work/time commitmentsCost/disposable incomeMedia CoverageEnvironment and climateRole modelsDiscrimination Opportunity/access
Commercialisation
The influence of commerce, trade or business on an industry (eg sport) to make a profit.
The golden triangle:
The media wants high standard, entertaining sport. If the sport is of a high standard the sport attracts more sponsors and investors. Therefore more money comes into sport. If the sport isn’t of a high standard and entertaining, less sponsors are attracted so less media coverage therefore less money comes into sport.Types of Media:
- Social- Internet- TV/visual- Newspapers/magazines
MEDIA effects…
Positives NegativesTo provide a ‘shop window’ (helps to ’sell’ or promote) for businesses and their products as well as the sports.
Can over-sensationalise the negative aspects of sport, e.g poor behaviour
To provide more funds to sports and participants via advertising and sponsorship
Can assert too much control over sport
To make it exciting, entertaining and interesting and therefore more attractive to people to participate and support
Too few (mainly male) sports benefit
Influences rules and times of play to make the sport more accessible, which in turn helps to sell goods
Under-representation of minority groups including those with disabilities
SPONSORSHIP effects…
Positives NegativesProvides an increased level of funding to improve facilities such as training grounds.
Generally more coverage of male sports over female and able bodied sports than disability sport on TV.
Provides better quality viewing experience with action replays and slow motion analysis.
Bad role models can damage companies name when their personal lives are in the public eye on a daily basis.
Changes to the sport format and rules have being introduced to make the sport more interesting for TV.
Some teams that are less successful find it harder to get sponsors
Provides money for athletes to train and compete full time
Narrow range of sports attract sponsors
